The properties of strongly interacting matter at finite temperature in a magnetized medium have received a great deal of attention in recent years, mainly due to the so called Inverse Magnetic Catalysis phenomenon whereby the pseudo critical quiral phase transition temperature and the quark condensate above this transition temperature decrease as a function of the magnetic field intensity. In this work we argue that this phenomenon is linked to the properties of the strong coupling when its temperature and magnetic field dependence are considered.
